Hello. I'm 18 year old female. I had pneumonia 4 years ago and since then I have problems with phlegm. Whenever I go to the doctor, she tells me that it's a virus or a flu and she gives me some pills, such as amoxicillin or cefalexin. At the moment, they help me, but the problem is coming back. This makes me very bothered, sometimes I think i'm going to choke. No other symptoms. What can I do?

Your symptoms might be due to damage caused to your lungs during that pneumonia. It's called bronchiectasis. U need a evaluation by a chest specialist who can guide you better. Pneumococcal and swine flu vaccines should be given to you. Meet some chest specialist.
